i To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, ALBERT Mosns, a citizen of the United States, kand a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York,

have invented a new and Improved Egg- Beater, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to facilitate the replacement of the loops of the beater; to hold separate loops of the beater rigid in service; and to simplify and reduce the cost of construction of the beater.

Drawings-Figure 1 is a side elevation of a beater constructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention; Fig. .2 is a detail view on an enlarged scale, showing in longitudinal section, a fragment of the handle, fragments of the beater loops, and the clamping collar for the ends of said loops; Fig. 3 is a cross section taken as on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2; Fig. 1lis a detail view showing a fragment of the clamping collar, the parts thereofbeing disposed as in position to receive the ends of the whip loops.

Description-The present invention relates more particularly to improvements in beaters constructed and arranged in accord'- ance with the invention for which application for Patent No. 89,031, was filed by me April 5, 1916, to which application cross reference is here made. n

The invention herein disclosed consists primarily in providing the ends of the wire loops 9 with contracted sections 10. The sections 10 are rectangular in cross section, in correspondence with the laterally-opening edge slots 11 formed in the socket plate 12. Below the sections 10, the wire of the loops 9 is left as originally formed to provide anchoring knobs 13, which operate to prevent the withdrawal of the loop wires after being adjusted to working position.

rlhe socket plate 12, as best seen in Fig. 2 of the drawings, has an interiorly-threaded central core which entends through a neck 14' which is also provided with an exterior thread 15. The thread 15, as shown, has across pitch. rlhe difference in pitch between the interior thread and exterior thread formed on the neck 14, accommodates the relatively rapidy advance and retraction of a gate collar 16.

The collar 16 has an annular flange 17, wherein areL two oppositely-disposed gate openings 18, As seen best in Fig. 3 lof the drawings, the gate openings 18 are sulficiently wide to permit the passage therethrough of the anchoring knobs 13 of the loops 9. The collar 16 is also provided with manipulating wings 19, by means of which the collar isoperated manually to force the base 2O of the said collar against the anchoring ends 13 of the loops.

Operation-In the employment of beaters constructed in accordance with the present invention, the loops 9 become damaged or worn, and it is desired to remove the same from the socket plate 12. This is accomplished by the operator retracting the collar 16 until the flange 17 is lowered toa point where the bottoms of the gate openings 1S are below or at a level with the ends of the knobs 13. `When the two gates are opposite the ends of the loop which it is desired to remove, the said ends are withdrawn from the slots 11 and the loop disengaged from its companions to be repaired or cast aside.

lf replaced, or a new loop be substituted therefor, the reverse of the operation above described is followed, and when the contracted sections 10 of the new loop have been installed in the slots 11 with the knobs 13 extending below the said slots, the collar 16 is advanced until the ungated portion of the flange 17 is above the lower edge of the slots 12. From this point, the collar 16 is.advanced until the base 2O thereof engages and presses upon the lower ends of the knobs 13. All of theloops 9 are now held as in service.

Claims:

1. An implement as characterized comprising a plurality of flexible loops; a circular socket plate having edge-opening recesses; removable means for detaining the ends of said loops in said recesses; and a collar operatively engaging said plate, said collar being provided with an annular liange 'for covering the entrance edges of the kreprising a plurality of beater loops, each having adjacent the opposite ends thereof, rectangular contracted sections; a circular socket plate having annularly disposed outwardly-opening recesses shaped in correspondence with said contracted sections:

means for preventing the withdrawal of said contracted sections from said recesses in a of said flange adapted to register With said direction parallel to the axis of said plate; a recesses scm'ae'm for permitting the WithscreW-threaded collar for holding the ends draWalv 'of *Said ends singly from said re- 10 of said loops Within said recesses, said collar cesses, the remainder of said flange prevent- 5 having an annular flange for infolding said 'ing Vlthe Withdrawal of the ends of other plate in ,juxtaposed relation thereto.; and loops. v means ernbodying'a gate in the upper edge ALBERT MGSES` Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D.
